The Fire Red Shrimp arrived healthy and vibrant. They’ve been in my tank for three weeks and their color has deepened significantly. They’re very active but not aggressive, and they seem to enjoy the plants and hiding spots.

Great addition to my planted tank. The red color stands out well against the greenery. I noticed they’re more active than regular cherry shrimp and seem to prefer areas with leafy plants.

Ordered a small group and they’ve adapted quickly. The color is intense and consistent. I didn’t have to adjust water parameters, and they’re thriving with minimal maintenance.

They arrived fine, but the color didn’t seem as deep as expected. Maybe they need more time to develop. Still, they’re peaceful and don’t disturb the other fish.
